Seeking to contribute with researches on Greek and Roman Literature in Brazil, this essay aims to study and spread the translations and the works about classical themes by José Feliciano de Castilho, taking as corpus his comments from Grinalda da Arte de Amar. Among those notes, our main corpus is the translations and comments about the Virgil’s second eclogue. Castilho seeks to find arguments to prove that the Roman poet, unlike some scholars say, was not a pederast. He refuses the interpretation that the second eclogue is about unrequited love from a shepherd named Corydon for a slave named Alexis. According to the homoerotic reading, there would be an analogy for Corydon with Virgil and Alexis would be some youth named Alexander by whom Virgil would´ve fallen in love. Castilho José doesn’t think this analogy valid, since Virgil emulates the Greek style, specifically Theocritus’s style, whose idylls are quoted and translated to prove his rebuttal on the hypothesis of Virgil homosexuality
